SWISS CHARD 
Assures you an abundance and 
never-failing supply of fine “greens” 
all through the late summer and 
fall months. Gives maximum re¬ 
turns for little care and space. 
Gather when half grown for best 
flavor. Cut close without injuring 
the heart of the plant, and another 
crop will spring up. Grows in any 
ordinary garden soil. Sow in rows 
12 inches apart, and thin to 5 inches 
apart in the row. One ounce will 
sow 100 feet of row; 4 to 5 pounds, 
an acre. 
SEA KALE BEET 
M Giant Lucullus. 55 days. 
The rich green, fleshy, heavily crum¬ 
pled leaves of this variety make very 
tasty “greens.” The erect plants 
attain a height of 2 to 2% feet. 
Largely sought after by those who 
prefer the thick, creamy white stems 
or stalks -which are edible and ten¬ 
der, and may be served as a sepa¬ 
rate dish like asparagus. The leafy part 
can be cooked like spina ch or turnip - 
greens, or if desired the whole leaf can 
be boiled and served as “greens.” There 
is a delicious, delicate flavor not found in 
either turnips or kale. Pkt. 5c; oz. 
IOc: '/» lb. 20c: lb. 50c; 5 lbs., 
S2.25. Not prepaid: 10 lbs. $4.00; 25

SWISS CHAR* 
LQ 
45 days. Distinct from 
other Chards; highly prized 
because of its superior fla¬ 
vor, entirely without the 
somewhat bitter taste of or¬ 
dinary Swiss Chard. You 
will relish it like a good va¬ 
riety of spinach. The dark, 
glossy green leaves are fairly 
smooth. The lighter green 
midribs are tender and edible. 
Cooked and served as “boil¬ 
ing greens”’ in the same way 
as spinach. It is very hardy 
and withstands severe sum¬ 
mer heat; therefore available when 
spinach cannot be grown. Many 
people who detest spinach find our 
green-leaved Swiss Chard a more 
palatable substitute. Pkt. 5 c ; oz. 
IOc; Vi lb. 20c; lb. 50c; 5 lbs. 
$2.25. Not prepaid: 10 lbs. $4.00;
